QUESTION:Do you have any suggestions for stress release?

ANSWER:People often say they are "stressed" when their normal coping mechanisms have been overwhelmed. If you need to decrease stress and improve coping, consider taking at least one 5 minute, de-stress break each day, preferably more. You can try different 5 minute activities throughout the week. These include stretching, daydreaming, deep breathing, reading a few pages of a novel, doodling, listening to your favorite song, or going for a quick walk. These mini "me" times provide a quick break and allow you a chance to regain emotional and mental control in difficult situations.

Stretch Your Back is also good to do during the day. Begin on your hands and knees. Slide your hands and arms out in front of you so that your torso forms one long sloping line from your fingertips to your tailbone. Breathe smoothly; reach forward with your fingertips while you keep your hips in line with your knees. Hold for about 30 seconds. Relax and then repeat. If you have back problems, first consult the professional who treats you before performing this stretch.

They understand that their ancestors have a vast wealth of wisdom and knowledge, available to us in the moment that we choose to ask.

Mars at 29 Sagittarius at the time of the Pisces New Moon which officially occurs at 1:11 pm GMT represents a noteworthy theme. In mutual reception with Jupiter, there is an overall positive vibe woven into this moon-seed. However, planets at 29 degrees represent themes of overcoming. This can prove to be lifetime theme when indicated in your Birth Chart. Yet, Mars happens to be well-placed at this degree of Sagittarius, so the result may be one of progress rather than obsessive-compulsive tendencies, a common theme for the last degrees of the archer.
